Alex’s wife, Taylor Mixon, said that although a plea was entered this week, she doesn’t want to focus on what actually happened at that hearing. Instead, she wants to look forward and continue to get justice for her husband while honoring his memory.

“It’s hard to describe really. I just continue to miss him all the time and think about him every day,” said Taylor.

It could be his inspiring art or his smile while working at Loco’s Pub and Grill, but it’s his death 10 months ago that has left a sting in the hearts of those who knew him.

“It’s still weird. It’s still strange and weird and feels surreal most of the time being there in the courtroom, especially feels surreal,” said Taylor.

The family was in court this week as Jacquarious testified against his brother, Jaquan, saying Jaquan admitted to shooting Alex.

Alex was shot and killed last November during an attempted robbery on West Broad Avenue.
